Highly efficient cascaded P-doped Raman fiber laser pumped by Nd:YVO4 solid-state laser

A highly efficient cascaded P-doped Raman fiber laser （RFL） pumped by a 1064-nm continuous wave （CW） Nd：YVO4 solid-state laser is reported. 1.15-W CW output power at 1484 nm is obtained while the input pump power is 4 W, corresponding to the power conversion efficiency of 28.8%. The threshold pump power for the second-order Stokes radiation is 1.13 W. The slope efficiency is as high as 42.6%. The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical ones. Furthermore, the power instability of the P-doped RFL at 1484 nm in an hour is observed to be less than 5%.     

High efficiency broad bandwidth erbium-doped superfluorescent fiber source

A practical two-stage double-pass structure using high concentration erbium-doped fiber and 1480-nm pump laser diode is suggested for a high power and broad bandwidth erbium-doped superfluorcscent fiber source. A considerable increase in output power and bandwidth extension is achieved by adding an unpumped fiber and a broadband fiber mirror to make the most of wasted backward amplified spontaneous emission as both pump and input light source simultaneously. Superfluorcscent fiber source with nearly 80-nm bandwidth and 28.6-mW output power is obtained experimentally.

Laser self-mixing interferometer with scalable fringe precision based on phase multiplication algorithm

In this paper, we present a phase multiplication algorithm (PMA) to obtain scalable fringe precision in laser self-mixing interferometer under a weak feedback regime. Merely by applying the double angle formula on the self-mixing signal multiple times, the continuously improved fringe precision will be obtained. Theoretical analysis shows that the precision of the fringe could be improved to λ/2n+1. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated by means of simulated SMI signals and confirmed by experiments under different amplitudes. A fringe precision of λ/128 at a sampling rate of 500 kS/s has been achieved after doing 6th the PMA. Finally, an amplitude of 50 nm has been proved to be measurable and the absolute error is 3.07 nm, which is within the theoretical error range. The proposed method for vibration measurement has the advantage of high accuracy and reliable without adding any additional optical elements in the optical path, thus it will play an important role in nanoscale measurement field.

High accuracy wavelength locking of a DFB laser using tunable polarization interference filter

A temperature-tunable polarization interference filter (PIF) made of YVO4 crystal has been presented and applied for wavelength locking of a distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser in dense wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) optical communication systems. This new design offers a flexible way to monitor and then lock an operating wavelength of DFB laser to any preselected point without dead spots. The results show that the laser wavelength can be locked with accuracy better than ±0.01 nm with much relaxed requirement on temperature stability of the filter.     

Real-time human blood pressure measurement based on laser self-mixing interferometry with extreme learning machine

In this paper, we present a method based on self-mixing interferometry combing extreme learning machine for real-time human blood pressure measurement. A signal processing method based on wavelet transform is applied to extract reversion point in the self-mixing interference signal, thus the pulse wave profile is successfully reconstructed. Considering the blood pressure values are intrinsically related to characteristic parameters of the pulse wave, 80 samples from the MIMIC-II database are used to train the extreme learning machine blood pressure model. In the experiment, 15 measured samples of pulse wave signal are used as the prediction sets. The results show that the errors of systolic and diastolic blood pressure are both within 5 mmHg compared with that by the Coriolis method.
